This blog follows the progress of the LRO mission through Integration and Testing at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center and launch site processing at KSC\Astrotech. Its purpose is to enable communication to the entire LRO Team about the status of ongoing activities.

LRO was launched June 18th, 2009 at 5:32pm EDT from KSC. This BLOG will follow the progress of the mission as LRO travels to the Moon and establishes orbit around it.

This BLOG will be periodically updated during LRO's early mission but as the nominal mission unfolds the official NASA LRO website and the LRO Science Instrument's own websites will evolve into a more interesting sources of LRO science results as postings appear there first and LRO engineering and operations (source of this site) will become increasingly routine.

MOC procedure checkout underway

Prior to turning the Orbiter over to the MOC crew we completed the RWA run down test, the FSW Controlled Heater Test, and stopped the LROC Imaging activity.
At 8:00 PM today, we turned the Orbiter over to the Mission Operations Center (MOC) to allow them to dry run and checkout some of the flight operations procedures. The MOC Crew has been given a 4hour slot ending at midnight, at which time we will resume LROC imaging tests.
